Dating Tools

Just started collecting old tools. These are the first ones I’ve found! Any Bluepoint/Snap on experts? They seem very old, 1950’s/sooner? Any insight would be great

Age/purpose identification

First picture I know is a level but can anyone tell me the possible brand/age of the level? No visible identifying marks on it. The other pictures I’m not sure what it is, seems built for a very specific purpose. Just moved into a 1850s farmhouse in Wisconsin for background and these where up in the rafters of an old smoke house

German Claw Hatchet of the German Army

I just bought this for €20—from 1963, in perfect condition. An absolute bargain. What do you guys think?

Big Deal Treu temper Kelly works 45€ deal in Germany

I'm freaking out—I got these heads in Germany for €45! What can you tell me about them? What kind of Pattern would all three likely have, and is it possible that one of them is military in nature?

1970s General Electric Drill

General Electric once made power tools too! This was compatible with multiple heads, but there only was the drill attachment in the box, probably here somewhere.

1940s Walker Turner shaper

Any idea what this machine is worth?
It works and seems to have all its parts.

My boss is looking to sell it. Could I restore it to increase its value? What would that entail?
